In the cross of Christ I glory
Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,514 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time:
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me;
lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance streaming
adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime. Topics: Epiphany IV Year A; Lent III Year B; Passiontide and Holy Week Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: WYCHBOLD
In the cross of Christ I glory
Christ, above all glory seated
Author: J. R. Woodford, 1820-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Christ, above all glory seated,
King triumphant, strong to save,
dying, thou hast death defeated;
buried, thou hast spoiled the grave.
2 Thou art gone, where now is given
what no mortal might could gain,
on the eternal throne of Heaven,
in thy Father’s power to reign.
*3 There thy kingdoms all adore thee,
heaven above and earth below;
while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.
4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.
5 So when thou again in glory
on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.
6 Hail! All hail! In thee confiding,
Jesus, thee shall all adore,
in thy Father’s might abiding
with one Spirit evermore. Topics: Ascension; Easter VII Year A; Christ the King Year B Scripture: 1 Peter 3:22 Used With Tune: WYCHBOLD Text Sources: Latin, 5th century
